Former Bartlesville Soccer Star Commits to OKWU
A top Bruin soccer performer has announced he is staying home to play in college. Jonah Collins announced that he has committed to play for the prestigious Oklahoma Wesleyan soccer program. Collins was an honorable mention all-state team member for his performances in the abbreviated 2020 spring season. He help guide Bartlesville to a 4-1 start before the coronavirus pandemic halted play and canceled the season.
Collins’ mother is Tracy Gillete who is the head volleyball coach OKWU. BHS soccer coach Anthony Tucker says Collins plays with a coach’s mentality on the pitch.
The Eagles have qualified for the NAIA national tournament in each of the last four seasons under the leadership of Jamie Peterson. Peterson has close ties with the BHS soccer program as he spent a stint as the Bruins head coach while still coaching at OKWU. Spencer White and Felix Aranda are two other former Bruins that currently play for OKWU.
